If an object's acceleration is positive, its speed must be increasing.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

French physicist Hippolyte Fizeau set up an experiment where he sent light through the gaps in the teeth of a rotating gear to a distant mirror, as shown in this figure. He measured the speed of the light when it bounced back from the mirror. If you performed a similar experiment, what value would you get for the speed of light if the distance to the mirror was 50 meters and you estimated that it took light 3  10-7 seconds to travel that distance and return? (See page 349 of your textbook for more on this experiment.)
 a. 6.6  108 meters/second.
  b. 3.3  108 meters/second.
  c. 1.7  108 meters/second.
  d. 3.0  108 meters/second.
  e. 2.997  108 meters/second.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
